I do love my Selle Italia SLK Lady Gel Flow and will buy yours from you if you still have it.

Competitive Cyclist does do a saddle demo program. Most of the saddles in it are men's. But by riding each of them in the trainer and taking careful notes about how each felt, I was able to figure out that the Selle Italia SLK Lady Gel Flow was the saddle I wanted from how they described each demo saddle on their website. You might give that a try.
Veronica...after I had my SLK on the bike for a few hundred miles, it started to "droop" on the left side. I could visibly see that the left half was sitting about 1/4" lower than the right half. Now some folks on here have said that this is just the saddle conforming to my body...and while I would agree with that somewhat, it did cause me a fair amount of pain mainly due to the fact that I could feel a "ridge" where the left side had dropped down. Have you experienced anything like this with your SLK? I understand the concept behind the "split" design and that each side flexes independently...but I did not expect the saddle to physically look lop-sided after I got off it. I've been offered the option of sending it back to the distributor for warranty evalution, but I'm still trying to figure out if this is a defective flaw in the saddle or if it is supposed to do that. What's your take on this?
